hi i know this has been on here but i need a quik anwser plz. im going to build my lights for my pack and i want to use leds instead of the bulbs what parts do i need to change..and what would be the best leds to use. thanks
To use LED’s instead of bulbs, go here:

Enter the pertinent information for the LED you want to use, and then all you need to do is get that resistor, and solder it to one leg of the led, and you can use that to replace the bulb in the schematic, remmbering to hook the led up so the negative and positive terminals are the right way round in the circuit.
If you don’t know how to do this though, I would reccomend against attempting to build your own circuit. I tried to build a light circuit for the pack, and my first attempt met with failure. $30-$50 worth of parts down the drain. I would reccomend instead buying a kit from someone here, or off ebay. I think you can get just the pack lights for $75 or less.
Your post makes it sound like you already have a kit that you want to replace the lights on. More information on what kit you have is necessary to figure out what you need to do to swap in LEDs. If you’re starting from scratch and don’t know how to wire LEDs I’d suggest buying something existing and installing that unless you really want to learn how electronics work.
The SRM model sequencer at Trainsetelectronics.com is adequate to light an entire gun and pack if you’re willing to settle for 5 lights in your power cell insead of 15.
But if you already have lights and are trying to replace them, that’s gonna get a bit more complicated.

The SRM on that site is a sound module. I can’t find anything there that looks like it does what you describe.
no i havent got the kit yet i found the schematic and parts list here and if i did this i would like to use leds instead of bulbs
